 | | The Penguins plan to partner with a yet-unidentified gambling company and with Nationwide Realty Investors of Columbus, Ohio, on a $1 billion development plan, that would include a new $290 million, 18,500-seat arena for the team, the newspaper reported. |
 | | Under the plan, the gambling company would apply for the slot machine license that is to be awarded in the city — and would pledge the money to build the new arena in return. |
 | | Nationwide Realty financed Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio, home to the NHL's Blue Jackets, and helped lead development in the district immediately surrounding that arena. |
